6 Mix

“Jamie xx returns to 6 Music for the second show in his 6 Mix residency, reflecting the most exciting music emerging from clubs across the world.
Ever since bursting onto the UK music scene with his band, The xx, Jamie xx has been one of the most in demand and talked about artists around. Along with Romy Croft and Oliver Sim, he won the 2010 Mercury Music Prize, and continues to win plaudits from pretty much everyone who hears his music.
Having gone to the same South London school as Four Tet, Hot Chip and Burial, on his own he’s re-worked Gil Scott-Heron’s final album, and released original productions on Scottish label Numbers – who’ve also provided a platform for Rustie, SBTRKT and Deadboy. He’s been at the forefront of UK Bass which has found its way into mainstream tracks and helped pave the way for the resurgence of Garage.
Hailed by Thom Yorke and with everything he does blogged about across the world, Jamie is more than a welcome addition to the 6 Mix Residents roster alongside Goldie, Erol Alkan, Derrick May, Andrew Weatherall and Groove Armada. In this second show for 6 Music, Jamie will be playing two hours of music from the cutting edge of club culture.”

“DJ and producer Ben Watt returns to the 6 Mix exploring leftfield dance and electronic music past, present and future.
In his latest show for 6 Music, Ben picks some of his favourite tracks of the year so far and plays some music which has influenced his new solo works; the first in over 30 years.
Aside from Ben’s hugely successful paths with projects such as Everything But The Girl and Buzzin’ Fly Records, Ben is also a published writer. His second book, Romany and Tom, arrived in February this year.
In this show, Ben explores the music from his DJ travels, through down-tempo and deep house music, via upfront leftfield electronic pop interspersed with a few classics from his personal collection.”

“Iconic DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall returns to his 6 Mix Residency. Andrew’s name is one of the most widely regarded in British electronic music by those who have helped define it – Terry Farley, Paul Oakenfold and New Order to name a few.
Beginning his career as a journalist and starting the ‘Boy’s Own’ fanzine, he met Danny Rampling while DJing in North London and was invited to be a resident at his legendary Shoom nights. His reputation continued to grow and as a producer he remixed tracks for the likes of Bjork and Manic Street Preachers, has released his own tracks on various labels including Warp, and along with Primal Scream won the first ever Mercury Music Prize for ‘Screamadelica’.
Andrew is one of 6 Mix’s Residents (alongside Erol Alkan, Goldie, Derrick May, Groove Armada and Jamie xx) and has been presenting shows on 6 Music for a number of years; we never tire of his eclectic selections!”

“Having been at the forefront of Drum and Bass for two decades, we’re delighted to have Goldie return to 6 Music for his second show as a 6 Mix Resident following his last show in November. Along with Derrick May and Jamie xx, he joins Erol Alkan, Groove Armada and Andrew Weatherall to complete the new line up of 6 Mix DJs to regularly explore their musical minds.
As well as the music which has helped him make his name, Goldie will journey through everything which has inspired him from Breakbeat through Jungle and, of course, all with a heavy dose of Drum and bass.
Since the early 1990s he’s witnessed and helped nurture the rise of Drum and Bass to something, which has seen tracks top the UK charts for the first time in recent years as well as still rock underground clubs across the world. He DJ-sets are legendary, his productions timeless and his radio shows you won’t want to miss.”
